Catering and Events

Hi! I'm Montana...

You might know me from MasterChef Australia Season 14, or from my recipe videos over on @monmackfood. Alongside the Montana's Table range (Choc Crunch Jars, Caramels, Whipped Butters and Baked Cheesecakes), I run a private catering and chef service here in Brisbane.

Every menu is built with you. Whether it's a fine dining dinner party, a relaxed long lunch, a corporate event or a week of cooking on holiday, I'll work closely with you to create something that feels personal and tastes incredible.

I'm a small, hands-on operation, so I cater events of up to around 50 guests. That means you're dealing with me from the first message to the last plate.

No packages, no set menus. Every event starts with a conversation about you: the occasion, your guests, the food you love, and how you want the day to feel. From there I design a menu from scratch, and I cook every dish myself.

What I Offer:

  • Private in-home dining, from intimate dinners to celebrations
  • Corporate events, including plated dinners and canapé functions
  • Canapés and standing event catering
  • Private chef services for holidays and trips away, in Australia and overseas
  • Whole baked cheesecakes, brownies and made-to-order cakes for events
  • Dessert and gifting orders for offices and corporate clients
  • Meal prep services

From Relaxed to Refined

Relaxed and generous. Pulled pork tacos, pulled lamb lasagne, big share platters and family-style feasts made for a crowd.

Elevated classics. Torched soy-glazed salmon, prawn brioche rolls with capers, dill and lemon, and the dishes clients ask for again and again.

Fine dining. Multi-course plated menus and refined canapés, the kind of cooking I did on MasterChef, brought to your table.

Most menus mix all three. Tell me what you're imagining and I'll build around it.

How It Works

  1. Enquire. Fill out the form with your date, suburb, guest numbers and the kind of event you're planning.
  2. Chat. I'll be in touch to talk through the vibe (canapés, shared feast or plated), dietary needs, kitchen setup and budget per head.
  3. Menu. I'll put together a custom menu and quote for you.
  4. Enjoy. I handle the cooking so you can actually be at your own event.

Dates book out, especially around Christmas and party season, so get in touch early.
